Breathtaking[ly] experimental.
-
New Musical Express (NME)Lyrically lucid and sonically exciting. [11 Jun 2005, p.67]
-
This is the finest debut hip-hop album I’ve seen since Aesop Rock’s.
-
Kano's album is ridiculously good.
-
Kano doesn't just defy the sonic tradition of grime on Home Sweet Home, he defies the tidy boxes MCs are usually plopped in upon their arrival.
-
Kano has spent the last several years making “grime” records, but for better or worse, Home Sweet Home isn’t one of them.
-
Home Sweet Home is refreshing and genuinely breathtaking.
-
A great release from a great new talent, Kano has the words and the beats to deliver.
-
MojoTough, yet with just enough tenderness. [Aug 2005, p.101]
-
The kid is hugely talented-his flow is tight and, in a pleasant change from the Dizzee model, about 90% intelligible-but in trying so many different things he never quite succeeds at any of them, and so he comes off as a bit hollow.
-
Establishes him not only as a master of the fast and fluid flow, but an insightful, frequently humorous - if somewhat socio- politically naïve - lyricist.
-
Q MagazineThe bulk of the album is pure Kano--deft wordplay and a range of musical reference points. [Jul 2005, p.115]
